Pappabear has a weird tactical bolt gun in 300 Win Mag that has messed with us for quite some time. We seem to have fixed its zero at least 4 times, and yet when we bring out, it’ll throw us some odd ball flyer rounds.

Specs on gun/ammo:
Rem 700, 300 WM, Thunderbeast suppressor, 225 gr ELD bullets in Norma Brass.

Sunday the gun was out again, and right out of the gate, the first shot wasn’t even on paper at 100… here we go!!

I could see the bullet strike was high behind the target, so Pappabear took aim at one of the bottom row round targets and go the two errant rounds you see in the top left quadrant of the green target sheet. WTF? 12” high and 5” left of his point of aim.



After this I took the can off and shot the exact same ammo at dead center of the entire target and got the half inch cluster you see in the middle of the target. Near perfect POI and great group.

We don’t see any obvious baffle or end cap strikes.
We then shot 208s and 190s with the can in place, and had no issues.
I think the 225s are lightly kissing the end cap.

Any ideas???
